SLIP.

Application filed October 1, 1925.

This invention relates to slips and more particularly to a garment especially adapted for use by girls and women, and while I refer to the same as a slip I would have it distinctly understood that I desire to cover the garment broadly whether it be worn as a slip, as an outer garment, or as an undergarment or analogous use.

An object of my invention is to provide a slip of improved construction whereby a slash is provided in the back and lower portionof the garment to give freedom to the legs in walking or to the body and legs while the wearer is in a sitting posture.

A further object is to provide an improved construction of slip which has straight lines but which gives the desired freedom in the lower portion of the garment without exposure.

l/Vith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed outin the claim.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view, taken from the front, illustrating my improved slip in position on the wearer;

Figure 2 is a similar view taken from the rear;

Figure 3 is a view in transverse section of the garment on the line 33 of Figure 1;

Figure 4 is a similar view in section on the line H of Figure 1;

Figure 5 is an exaggerated view in section on the line 55 of Figure 2.

My improved slip is preferably formed of three pieces, namely, a front piece 1 and two back pieces 2 and 3. Suitable shoulder straps 4-may be provided or other means may be employed for supporting the garment on the wearer.

The front piece 1 is preferably of the full width of the garment and is secured along its edges to the back pieces 2 and 3, respectively, as shown at 5.

The back piece 3 constitutesa piece having relatively straight lines throughout the length of the garment, while the piece 2 is relatively narrow from the top of the garment to a point 6 intermediate the ends of the garment, and from this point 6 toctlhe bottom of the garment is appreciably w1 er.

extending Serial No. 59,884.

The upper narrow portion 7 of the back piece 2 is joined to the edge of the back piece 3, as shown at 8, and from the point 6 extends transversely of the garment, and is also joined to the back piece by a line of stitching or other suitable connectin means, as indicated at 9.

c The inner'edge of piece 2 is free from attachment to the back piece 3 so that the back piece 3 from the point 6 to the bottom of the garment and the back piece 2 from the line of stitching 9 to the bottom of the garment are free from attachment and an open slash is thereby provided with a sufficient overlap provided by the wider lower portion back piece or section 2, so that while the garment permits an expansion at its lower portion for freedom in walking or other movement of the legs or body, a suflicient overlap of the material is had to compel the garment to remain smooth and unrumpled and also prevent exposure when in use.

It is of course to be understood that I may employ any desired material, that I may connect the several parts by any well known expedient for joining the materials, and that I do not limit myself to the exact proportions nor to the various details of construction butconsider myself at liberty to make such slight changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claim. 7

I claim:

A slip of substantially uniform width throughout its length and comprising a single front piece and a pair of back pieces, both of the latter joined to the front piece at the respective longitudinal edges thereof, one of said back pieces having substantially parallel edges throughout its length and comprising more than half of the width of the back of the slip, the other back piece be ing of two difi erentwidths, the narrower width being at the upper portion of the slip' and secured at its edge to the edge of the other back piece, the wider portion of the last-mentioned back piece being secured to the other back piece at its upper end only whereby an overlapping portion is provided throughout the lower portion of the garment intermediate the side edges thereof, said Oil overlapping portion being open, constituting a slash.
